Haynesworth: Brain aneurysms almost killed me

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Brain aneurysms nearly killed former Tennessee Titans and Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth in November 2015, he told Nashville radio station 104.5 The Zone on Thursday.

"Nobody really knows, I almost died," he said while attending the OVC women's basketball tournament at Nashville's Municipal Auditorium. "I had two brain aneurysms that were nearly rupturing. I went and talked to my doctor in Florida, and he was like, 'Man, your blood pressure is through the roof. I'm going to admit you.' They did a lot of tests and found the aneurysm that was rupturing at that point.
